Hardcore has a long of history of the rip off shirt. It wasn’t too long before someone took the next step and started producing Straight Edge rip off designs. Keep in mind, the mid 90s was pre-rip off design shirts. I’m not sure if there weren’t enough old shirts to play on, or if kids had more obscure imaginations back then (fuck it, I’ll go with obscure. How many normal people would come up with prints located near the kidney or on the front hip bone? Serious weird stuff there). The mid 90s began the big trend for Straight Edge. I mean, seriously, check out some of these designs from redhand712, talibanmatt and x23mjx.
Motel XXX? Is this a straight edge shirt or some weirdo pr0n tee? The back would lead me to believe SXE, but who knows …
Mastercard. Classic rip off. Priceless, some would say.
This one isn’t so much of a rip off, really. Just a statement of fact. I should probably get one of these for JayBil. USHCPS.
I listed these designs from most offensive to least offensive. The hood might be ok, but it’s hard to tell what’s going on with that font. Some sellers should just lay items flat. That might work much better here.
